There are 14+ active SOKO spin-offs plus Tatort across multiple public broadcasters — even dedicated fans struggle to track what airs when, and the trend search shows real demand for better navigation of the franchise.
Tatort/SOKO have large, active fanbases (tatort-fans.de exists as a dedicated community, SOKO Stuttgart alone has 17 seasons / 408 episodes on Wikipedia) and search interest is real, but most fans rely on free broadcaster mediatheks.SOKO Stuttgart/Episodenliste – Wikipedia ↗Tatort Fans - Alles zum ARD Krimi online ↗
Multiple free alternatives already serve parts of the niche: kalender.tatort-fans.de, calovo.de calendar subscription for Tatort, tatortheute.de, fernsehserien.de episode guides, and the official ARD/ZDF Mediatheks – but none offer a single personalized tracker spanning all 14+ SOKO spin-offs + Tatort + Polizeiruf across ZDF/ARD/ORF/SR.Tatort Kalender ↗Tatort von ARD - Das Erste kostenlos abonnieren - Kalender bei calovo ↗
All identified competitors are free (calovo explicitly '100% kostenlos', tatort-fans.de is a fan site, public broadcasters don't pay for promotion); German fans are price-sensitive and public-broadcast content limits sponsor appeal.Tatort von ARD - Das Erste kostenlos abonnieren - Kalender bei calovo ↗Tatort Kalender ↗
Tatort has aired weekly since 1970 and SOKO franchise since 1978, both publicly funded by stable Gebühren-financed broadcasters (ARD, ZDF, ORF, SR) with multi-generational fanbases – exceptionally durable demand signal.SOKO Stuttgart – ZDF ↗Tatort | Videos und neue Folgen online | ARD Mediathek ↗
Building a calendar/tracker app is well-trodden territory: broadcast schedules are public, episode metadata exists on Wikipedia/fernsehserien.de, CalDAV/iCal export is standard, and mobile calendar/notification stacks are mature.SOKO Stuttgart Episodenguide - fernsehserien.de ↗
